Washington D.C. (Episode II) Continued – Hirshhorn
After the Sculpture Garden, Laura wanted to go to the Hirshhorn , the Smithsonian’s museum of international modern and contemporary art.
The Hirshhorn is a round building, which is handy for getting a chance to see everything. You go around twice per level and then you are back where you started.
While there, I found an amazing piece by Roxy Paine called New Fungus Crop. I could have looked at it for hours!
I am nuts about mushrooms…they seem to take you to miniature magical worlds.
Miquel liked Anselm Kiefer: Heaven and Earth exhibit.
He was most taken with this piece, “Ressurexit”
There was a whole floor with several artists, a collection dedicated to nature that gave Laura a few ideas how she would like to decorate her room. I do believe one wall will be full of flowers, like she saw on a wall in the museum.
I take it the mushroom piece is sculpture? I will have to look it up.
